    COM 321, Documentary Form in Film, Television, & Interactive Media Notes from and about Barnouw’s Documentary: A history of the non-fiction film 6. Documentarist as. Bugler Definition(s): The “bugle-call film”—adjunct to military action, weapon of war—a “call to action” (note that both Listen to Britain and the Why We Fight series literally begin with bugle calls over the opening credits); the filmmaker’s task—to stir the blood Key Concepts & Issues: Use of battle footage—e.g., expanded newsreels in the German Weekly Review Repurposing of captured footage—in WWII, both sides engaged in this (e.g., Why We Fight) “Documenting” a thesis with fiction excerpts (e.g., footage from Drums Along the Mohawk, The Good Earth, Marco Polo, and many others in the Why We Fight series; use of footage from Fritz Lang’s M, clips from Hollywood films and of supposed Jewish performers in Fritz Hippler’s anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda film The Eternal Jew (1940)) Key Documentarists: Humphrey Jennings (1907-1950) A new member of “Grierson’s Boys” (including Alberto Cavalcanti, Paul Rotha) at the GPO Film Unit, which became the Crown Film Unit. A Cambridge graduate with broad arts background, his style was “precise, calm, rich in resonance.” Among his films, one earned him a world-wide reputation: Listen to Britain: (a) Featured Jennings’ specialty, vignettes of human behavior under extraordinary stress—they are heeding the government’s 1939 call to “Keep Calm and Carry On“; (b) Typical of Jennings’ war films— the film never explains, exhorts, or harangues—it observes;

L’oeuvre au centre de cette étude est Song of the Rivers Aller au sommaire du numéro (1954) de Joris Ivens, qui est analysée et ensuite mise en parallèle avec l’exposition de photographies d’Edward Steichen, Family of Man (1955). Afin de mesurer la complexité textuelle et la dialectique propre au film d’Ivens, cette analyse se penche sur les récits personnels, tissés à même les aspirations Éditeur(s) épiques du film. Ces récits, concernant Ivens et Paul Robeson, mobilisent la Cinémas figure du fleuve qui apparaît à la fois dans le cinéma soviétique et les performances de Robeson.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

In 1938 the distinguished Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens, already acclaimed for his brilliant documentary "The Spanish Earth," made during the Civil War in Spain, then went to China where he began to film "The Four Hundred Million" in the height of the Sino-Japanese conflict. There he met Chou En-lai who told him he had many cameramen, but no camera, so Ivens before departing left him with the only camera the Chinese revolutionaries had. It enabled them to film the historic events around Mao Tse-tung in the next four years and to start up China's new cinema. The camera today occupies a proud place in Peking's Revolutionary Museum, where Ivens, who had forgotten about this gift, recently saw it again.

RESUMEN: En 1937, el documental Tierra de España trató de dar a conocer la Guerra Civil Española al público internacional. Este ensayo analiza la representación de España que Joris Ivens (director) y Ernest Hemingway (guionista) proyectan con el fin de obtener apoyo político y económico para la causa republicana. Como trataré de demostrar en este artículo, su intento de creación de una cierta empatía transatlántica entre el público estadounidense y el pueblo español estaba basado en la perpetuación de la imagen de una España romántica que termina por erradicar la complejidad cultural peninsular. KEYWORDS: Spanish Civil War, The Spanish Earth, Ernest Hemingway, Joris Ivens, El Mono Azul, Alianza de Intelectuales Antifascistas, Propaganda, Film. ABSTRACT: In 1937, the film The Spanish Earth documented the Spanish Civil War for international audiences. This essay analyzes the ways in which Joris Ivens (director) and Ernest Hemingway (screenwriter) portrayed the Spanish conflict in order to obtain political and economic support for the Spanish Republican cause. As I try to prove in this paper, their attempt to create a certain transatlantic empathy between American audiences and the Spanish people relied on the perpetuation of a romanticized image of Spain that erases the cultural complexity of Spain.

  • Argos Films, an Inde­
    The Museum of Modern Art NO. 9 U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERIES OF FRENCH FILMS AT MODERN MUSEUM Starting January 31, The Museum of Modern Art will devote three weeks to a program of 42 French films, both features and shorts, largely made during the 60s and all representative of aesthetic theories and innovative cinematic ideas. Typical are the films of Alain Resnais, Jean Rouch, Chris Marker, Alexandre Astrue, Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Bresson. These filmmakers, with the exception of Resnais and Godard, were unheralded in this country; their films were overshadowed by the more commercial New Wave pictures. In retro­ spect, however, they appear to be seminal films that have introduced new techniques, resurrected discarded techniques of the past, manipulated the dimension of time, and explored hitherto neglected subjects such as socio- anthropological themes. All the pictures in this series are the output of Argos Films, an inde­ pendent producing firm, headed by Anatole Dauman, who gave opportunities to unknown, untried young directors. As a result, in recognition of this com­ pany's contribution to French films over the past two decades, the Museum's Department of Film has chosen to present this program of Argos-produced films. The program was organized by Adrienne Mancia, Associate Curator of Film. Featured are three early Resnais films: "Night and Fog," "Hiroshima, Mon Amour," and "Muriel." Of "Muriel" the director has said, "It will be up to the spectators to finish this story ... of error, indecision and lies." "Muriel," made on location in Boulogne, is considered the most rigorous undertaking of Resnais by many of his admirers.
